Bluetongue virus protein VP7 structure
Bluetongue virus protein VP7, molecular model. VP7 is a protein forming part of the coating of the bluetongue virus. This virus, transmitted by midges, causes bluetongue disease in ruminants (commonly sheep, and less frequently cattle, goats and deer). The disease causes high fever and swollen face and tongue. In this model, the solid colours represent the secondary structure of the protein (spiral ribbons are alpha helices; arrows are beta sheets), and the faded tubular structure behind represents the individual atoms and bonds

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the Bluetongue virus protein VP7, a crucial component of the bluetongue virus's outer coating. The bluetongue virus is primarily transmitted by midges and causes a debilitating disease in ruminants such as sheep, cattle, goats, and deer. Affected animals experience symptoms like high fever and swelling in their face and tongue. In this molecular model, we can observe the secondary structure of VP7 through its vibrant solid colors. The spiral ribbons represent alpha helices while arrows signify beta sheets. Behind this visually striking representation lies the faded tubular structure that represents individual atoms and bonds. The significance of understanding this protein's structure lies in unraveling its role within the bluetongue virus. By studying these molecular intricacies, scientists gain insights into potential targets for therapeutic interventions or vaccine development to combat this devastating disease. This awe-inspiring illustration combines elements from various scientific disciplines including biology, medicine, chemistry, biochemistry, virology, and microbiology. It serves as a testament to how interdisciplinary research plays a vital role in combating infectious diseases that impact both animal health and agricultural industries. Science Photo Library presents us with an exceptional visual representation that not only captivates our imagination but also deepens our understanding of complex biological systems at a molecular level.
